Market Engagement: Printed Materials and Educational Resources Supplier Framework

Trinity Multi Academy Trust, a growing network of primary, secondary, and post-16 academies across Yorkshire, is conducting a preliminary market engagement exercise to gather supplier input for a potential multi-supplier framework agreement. This engagement seeks supplier feedback on providing printed materials, educational resources, and promotional products, including school planners, exercise books, lanyards, brochures, corporate stationery, branded merchandise, and marketing materials. The Trust is exploring a multi-lot framework structure with multiple suppliers appointed to serve the diverse needs of its academies and central services. Through this exercise, Trinity aims to: • Understand current market capabilities and supplier offerings • Gather feedback on the proposed framework and lot structure • Explore innovative products, services, and delivery models • Identify sustainability initiatives and added-value services • Inform procurement strategy, framework design, and specifications This is a preliminary information-gathering exercise only. It is not a commitment to purchase, a formal invitation to tender, or a guarantee of future business. Participation is voluntary and supplier information will be used solely to shape the Trust's procurement approach. Any formal procurement will be advertised through official public procurement channels to ensure fair access for all interested suppliers.
